60 S.S. Giftology: Drive eRazer

c0f0e_erazer.jpg I'm not going to name names or reasons, but we all know someone who needs to wipe their hard drive to a blinding sheen more often than not. Today's Giftology item is perfect for the covert agent, porn enthusiast or vengeful post-doc candidate who you've been entrusted to serve as Secret Santa. The Drive eRazer simply connects to an old hard drive and erases all the old files by writing a data pattern over the entire disc. The Pro version performs multiple passes while writing random characters over your leather fetish, nuclear proliferation or embarrassing first novel files.

A 250 GB hard drive gets zapped in under two hours, and since it requires no computer, erasing sensitive employer information while dodging gunfire in a Laotian jungle shouldn't be a problem. It fits right in your pack, next to the cyanide capsules!

The standard Drive eRazer is designed for 3.5 inch drives and costs $99.95, while the Pro version sets you back $149.95, as does the Notebook Pro version is also $149.95. A ‘versatile’ bundle works on both drive sizes and sells for $199.95.
